I am facing the same issue on some Motorola devices but not on Samsung devices.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: It is impossible to create a new session because 'createSession' which takes HttpClient, InputStream and long was not found or it is not accessible Build info: version: '3.12.0', revision: '7c6e0b3', time: '2018-05-08T14:04:26.12Z'

Version details:

• appium: 1.9.1
• java-client: 6.1.0
• node: 11.0.0
• real mobile device: Android 7

I could not reproduce this issue on a Samsung device but I could reproduce it consistently on some Motorola devices that I used (Moto G5 Plus, Moto G4 Plus with Android 7.0)

Does anyone have an idea why this would be the case and what I can do to fix it?

[SrinivasanTarget]

@bitweft Did you tried in latest appium java client commit? Refer here

[helenren]

Hit the same issue using java_client 6.1.0, while only repro to use remote appium server, like the simulator or real device in saucelabs. For my local ios simulator, it works fine.

[donedeal-ronan]

I'm getting the same error as the initial post on emulators.

TestNg: 6.14.3
Appium Java-client: 6.1.0
Appium Server: 1.7.1
SeleniumHQ Java: 3.12.0
Node: 10.11.0
Android versions under test: 8.1.0, 6.0, 6.1
Desktop OS/version: macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

I've tried the latest version of the java-client too but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

[SrinivasanTarget]

[VenkateshPS]

I am able to reproduce this issue with
Appium 1.14.2
Java client 7.2.0.
MacOS version 10.14.3.
Real Device Samsung A5, Android 8

@SrinivasanTarget please reopen this issue.

[emindedic]

I am able to reproduce too:
Appium v1.10.1
MacOS version: '10.14.2',
